Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Reference Manual Attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig. 9 A water outlet device comprises an upper cover 1, a water diversion body and a body 3, wherein the upper cover 1 comprises a water inlet 11, the body 3 comprises a bottom cover 31, the bottom cover 31 is arranged relative to the upper cover 1 and is provided with at least one set of water outlet holes, the upper cover 1 is connected with the body 3 to form an accommodation space a, a sealing ring d is arranged between the upper cover 1 and the body 3, the water diversion body is arranged in the accommodation space a, a cavity is formed between the water diversion body and the bottom cover 31, the cavity comprises a normally open cavity 41 and a control cavity 42, The normally open cavity 41 is normally connected with the water flow flowing into the water inlet 11, and can continuously supply water to the water outlet hole connected thereto, while the control cavity 42 can be respectively connected with the water flow flowing into the water inlet 11 when the water diversion body rotates, and can close (i.e., intermittent water discharge) or dynamically control the amount of water flow flowing into the control cavity, and the group of water outlet holes at least includes a first water outlet hole 321 connected with the normally open cavity 41 (i.e., the first water outlet hole is a normal water outlet hole), and a second water outlet hole 322 connected with the control cavity 42.

[0028] The following will be combined Figure 1 and Figure 2The water diversion body is described in detail. The water diversion body of the water outlet device of the present invention includes a first blade 21, a second blade 22 and a water diversion sheet 23 from top to bottom, the second blade 22 is disposed between the first blade 21 and the water diversion sheet 23, and the water diversion sheet 23 and the bottom cover 31 form the above-described normally open cavity 41 and control cavity 42, and the cooperation between the first blade and the second blade can further utilize water force to drive the blades to rotate. Among them, the water dividing plate 23 includes a middle area 231 and a peripheral area 232. Preferably, the middle area can form a step with the peripheral area. The middle area 231 of the water dividing plate 23 includes at least one first water through hole 231a and an axis rod 231b. The first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole b and a second mounting hole c in the middle. The axis rod 231b is connected to the first mounting hole b of the first blade 21 through the second mounting hole c, so that the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 can rotate around the axis rod 231b of the water dividing plate 23 under the drive of water force. Furthermore, a through hole 22a is also provided in the blade area of ​​the second blade 22; the peripheral area 232 is also provided with at least one second water through hole 232b, the first water through hole 231a is connected to the control cavity 42, and the second water through hole 232b is connected to the normal cavity 41.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to strengthen the force of the water flow, an inclined water body 5 can be arranged between the water diversion body and the upper cover 1. The inclined water body 5 is provided with an inclined water hole 51. The side wall of the main body 3 is provided with a boss 30. The inclined water body 5 is fixedly arranged on the boss 30. In this way, when the water flows in from the water inlet 11 of the upper cover, a part of the water flows in turn through the inclined water hole 51 and the second water hole 232b of the water diversion plate 23 into the normal cavity 41, and the water flows out continuously from the first water outlet 321 for people to shower. Another part of the water flows directly to the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 after passing through the inclined water hole 51. At this time, the projection of the first water hole 231a completely falls into the through hole 22a (state A, refer to Figure 4A ), the through hole 22a at the blade area position of the second blade 22 is connected to the first water hole 231a of the water dividing plate 23, and a large flow of water flows into the control cavity 42, and then the water flows out from the second water outlet hole 322 of the bottom cover 31; then, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are driven by the water flow, and rotate around the shaft 231b. When rotating to a certain angle, the projection of the first water hole 231a falls into the through hole 22a. At this time, the first water hole 231a of the water dividing plate 23 is partially connected to the through hole 22a (B state, refer to Figure 4B), at this time, the small flow of water passes through the through hole 22a and the first water hole 231a in sequence, and then flows into the control cavity 42; as the blade rotates further, when the projection of the first water hole 231a does not fall into the through hole 22a at all, that is, the water flow between the through hole 22a of the second blade 22 and the first water hole 231a of the water dividing plate 23 is blocked (C state, refer to Figure 4C ), the second water outlet 322 of the bottom cover stops discharging water, and only the first water outlet 322 discharges water, and this cycle repeats to form a dynamic change. The dynamic control of the water inlet flow rate can make the first water outlet 321 and the second water outlet 322 cooperate to form a dynamic water splash change effect, which enhances the user's visual sense and experience, and improves the bathing enjoyment.

[0030] For further reference, Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the first water outlet 321 can be arranged near the periphery of the bottom cover 31, and the second water outlet 322 can be arranged near the center of the bottom cover 31, so as to enhance the overall visual effect of the dynamic change of the water splash. Preferably, in order to further enrich the change effect of the water splash, the water outlet angle α of the water flow lines of the first water outlet 321 and the second water outlet 322 can be set to be no more than 40°. In this way, when the multiple groups of water outlet holes of the shower device are distributed in a circle on the surface of the bottom cover 31, and the first water outlet 321, the second water outlet 322 and the center point of the bottom cover 31 are located on the same straight line, if the water outlet shower device is in the C state described above, at this time, the first water outlet 321 discharges water, and the projection of the second water outlet 322 does not fall into the through hole 22a at all, and the water flow is blocked. Due to the existence of the water outlet angle, the water outlet of the first water outlet 321 of the bottom cover can form a retracted water splash (reference Fig. 6A ); Next, if the shower device is in the above-mentioned state A driven by the blades, the projection of the second water outlet hole 322 completely falls into the through hole 22a, and the second water outlet hole 322 discharges water. The water flow line sprayed from the first water outlet hole 321 intersects with the water flow line sprayed from the second water outlet hole 322 on the outside of the body 3, and then merges into a water flow, and the water splash gradually changes from the original inward-type water splash to a diffused water splash (refer to Figure 6B ). Optional, see Figure 7, when the multiple groups of water outlet holes of the shower device are distributed in a circle on the surface of the bottom cover 31, and at the same time, the line segment connected by the center points of the first water outlet hole 321 and the second water outlet hole 322, and the line segment connected by the midpoint of the line segment and the center point of the surface of the bottom cover 31 can form an angle β, and the angle can be set to be no greater than 90°. At this time, the first water outlet hole 321, the second water outlet hole 322 and the center point of the bottom cover 31 are not on the same straight line. In this way, if the water outlet shower device is in the C state described above, the projection of the first water hole 231a does not fall into the through hole 22a at all, the second water outlet hole 322 does not discharge water, and the water discharged from the first water outlet hole 321 of the bottom cover can form a twisted water splash (reference Fig. 8A ); if the shower device is in state A under the further drive of the blade, the projection of the first water hole 231a completely falls into the through hole 22a, the first water hole 321 and the second water hole 322 discharge water at the same time, and the water flow line sprayed from the first water hole 321 and the water flow line sprayed from the second water hole 322 intersect at the outside of the body 3, and then merge into a water flow, and the water splash gradually changes from the original twisted water splash to a straight water splash (refer to Figure 8B ). In this way, the water shower device can realize the dynamic change of synthetic water splash by dynamically changing the water inlet ratio of the control cavity, which not only greatly improves the visual sense and experience, but also improves the water splash pulse effect of the device and plays a massage role. Of course, it is easy to know, refer to Fig. 9 The multiple groups of water outlet holes of the shower device can also be arranged in a non-uniform distribution, which can change different water outlet effects, thereby meeting the usage needs of different consumers and further improving the usage experience.

[0031] The following will be combined Figures 10A to 10B The second embodiment of the present invention is described below. Here, the same parts as the first embodiment will not be described again, and only the differences will be described in detail. The blade area of ​​the second blade 22 of the shower device is provided with at least a first through hole 22b and a second through hole 22c. Optionally, the first through hole 22b or the second through hole 22c is in an arc shape, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole 22b or the second through hole 22c is in a gradual state from large to small. Preferably, the first through hole 22b and the second through hole 22c are symmetrically arranged, so that when water flows in from the water inlet 11 of the upper cover, a part of the water flows into the normal cavity 41 through the inclined water hole 51 and the second water hole 232b of the water dividing sheet 23 in sequence, and the water flows continuously out from the first water outlet 321 for people to shower. At the same time, another part of the water flows directly to the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 after passing through the inclined water hole 51. At this time, the projection of the first water hole 231a of the water dividing sheet 23 completely falls into the first through hole 22b (state A', refer to Fig. 10A), the water flow into the control cavity 42 is the largest; then, as the water flow drives the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 to continue to rotate around the shaft 231b, the projection of the first water hole 231a only partially falls into the first through hole 22b (B' state, refer to Fig. 10B ), or the projection of the first water hole 231a partially falls into the first through hole 22b and the second through hole 22c at the same time (C' state, refer to Fig. 10C ), the water flow into the control cavity 42 gradually decreases. In this way, due to the dynamic change of the water inlet flow in the control cavity 42, the dynamic change of the angle of the water flow collected outside the water outlet is formed, which enriches the dynamic water splash effect and improves the user experience.
